About the role:

This is a uniquely varied role that combines patient‑facing engagement with broader national‑level trial coordination. You’ll not only contribute to the day‑to‑day running of the MAMMA‑VAD Trial but also play an important part in shaping how the study operates across the UK. Whether you’re supporting clinics, engaging with participants, troubleshooting challenges with sites, or helping refine study processes, your input will directly influence how the trial evolves. This is an ideal opportunity for a practitioner or nurse who wants to deepen their experience in multi‑site research, build confident study leadership skills, and contribute to improving care pathways for people with breast abscesses across the NHS.

As the MAMMA‑VAD Clinical Trial Practitioner / Research Nurse, you will be central to the successful delivery of this important national study. Your work will focus on participant recruitment, obtaining informed consent, data collection and management, and facilitating referrals to secondary care where required. The role requires the ability to manage a varied and often intensive workload while maintaining the highest standard of accuracy and care. 

In addition, you will be responsible for aspects of study co-ordination and be responsible for planning, coordinating, and overseeing the trial to ensure successful execution. This includes designing study protocols, ensuring regulatory compliance, managing budgets, and leading cross-functional teams.

You will help ensure data integrity, implement quality assurance measures, and facilitate post-trial activities such as data analysis and result dissemination. Strong organisational skills and a thorough understanding of clinical research processes are essential for this role. As part of a national trial, you will travel to sites, collaborate with local site teams to ensure a well-coordinated and positive experience for trial participants.
